The Power of Scent

We carefully and purposefully included fragrance in our new products as scent plays a vital role in healthy and happy baby development. Working with the world’s premier fragrance houses, we’ve created new gentle and soothing scents.

The world that baby grows up in is precious, so our products are responsibly formulated and gentle on the environment. We want the best for our world and your baby, so our formulas are all carefully crafted with environmental impacts and safeguards in mind.

Pioneers in Baby Care Research

JOHNSON’S® are pioneers in the science and research of baby care and products. We’re committed to delivering the best for baby. As such, our products are constantly improving and consistently beating the top safety standards in the world.

Below are some of our baby care research:

Sight

  • Sight is the last sense for baby to fully develop – their eyes continue to develop after birth

  • Eye contact between you and baby is vital for social development

  • At birth, newborns’ field of vision is around 8 to 12 inches (approximately the distance to your face when you’re cradling or feeding)

  • Babies only blink as little as 2 to 5 times per minute, so their eyes are vulnerable to irritation

Touch

  • Baby’s first emotional bond is through physical contact – it’s vital to their emotional and intellectual development

  • Baby’s skin is the first line of defense against toxins, irritants and allergens

  • Baby’s skin is up to 30% thinner and much more sensitive than adult skin

Scent

  • Did you know babies can smell before they’re born?

  • Try to be consistent with enjoyable scents to build familiarity to help baby improve their mood, calmness and alertness

  • Baby will recognize mother’s scent and it can stop them from crying

  • A study showed that babies bathed with a fragrant bath product engaged 30% more with their mothers after bath time, compared to babies who bathed in a non-fragrant bath

Sleep

  • Research shows that nearly 20-30% of babies experience sleep problems

  • In one report, parents’ desire to change some aspect of their baby’s sleep was as high as 76%.

  • We developed our JOHNSON’S® 3-Step Bedtime routine in partnership with Dr. Jodi Mindell, a leading pediatric sleep expert from Saint Joseph's University and the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia

  • Our JOHNSON’S® 3-Step Bedtime routine, can help baby fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.
